Command of the Options
We have deep knowledge regarding the attributes of different forms of legal entities, in regard to corporate governance, financial and tax aspects, liability protection, investor expectations and exit transaction objectives.
We pride ourselves on possessing the agility to represent companies across the life cycle, from early stage businesses to mature companies, beginning in some instances with inception, moving to growth financing, acquisitions and liquidity events.
Initial Organization Phase
We set the table by selecting the optimal form of entity and jurisdiction of formation/incorporation, and handling all aspects of company formation. We represent business entities organized in numerous U.S. jurisdictions including Delaware, Florida, New York, Texas, Illinois, Nevada and California.
Corporate Maintenance
Following the initial business organization phase, we provide corporate maintenance services to a substantial portfolio of clients and their affiliated entities, ranging from preparation of annual reports, corporate minutes and resolutions, qualification of entities in other jurisdictions, and preparation of Beneficial Ownership Information Reports. Entities for which we perform these essential services number in the hundreds. Corporate maintenance services are typically led by our legal and administrative assistants.
HM also assists clients with conversion of companies into other forms of entity, and migrating companies to different states in certain circumstances.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Typically, extraordinary transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and reorganizations require the establishment of new legal structures and entities, to facilitate transactional, organizational and economic goals. We provide critical transaction planning and guidance in these areas.
